Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.

I survived idiocy of managers asking for Y2K compliant padlocks. As in, physical padlocks.

Discman - so much better than the Walkman. =)

[–] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.
